I think that monologues help in a play with a lot of people because you get to know the characters more. When you watch a play, or even a movie, you don't know what the character is thinking by just looking at him/her. Monologues help you connect with the character. My monologue was about a girl who was scarred by war. She would see her mother with a gun up to her head everyday.
This week in drama we began thinking about the play that we will be writing. We decided to do two separate stories going on at once and they link in the end. The beginning of it is a flashback. One of the stories is about date rape. The other is about a girl who is being forced into a marriage that she doesn't want and the man that she really loves is killed by her family. They are both depressing things to make a play about, but it is real and important. I think that it will get to be really interesting the further we get.
